Yeppers! It’s a First Friday Giveaway!

Looking at this photo you could think I’m a month off, or I’m a little off! I can’t confirm nor deny the latter (ha!), however, I can agree that this month’s giveaway items look like they belong in October. There’s a reason for that. By the time the giveaway is over and the prize is mailed to this month’s winner, many teachers will be making plans for October—so October-themed goodies it is!

To enter for a chance to win a decorative pumpkin for your classroom, a pair of batty toe covers, 40 treat bags, and three super fun picture books, simply leave your answer to the following question right here on this blogno later than Sunday, September 16, 2018.

If I am being honest, my most favorite thing is that the H-O-T and H-U-M-I-D Georgia summer finally decided to dissipate toward mid October. It’s currently still 90 degrees! I also love seeing the beautiful colored leaves in the North Georgia mountains and all the fall festivals where our family can indulge in boiled peanuts, caramel apples, cider slushees, funnel cakes and s’mores!

In the fall, I love to see the colors of the leaves. I adore the breeze blowing and making the fallen leaves rattle across the pavement. And all the fall festivals make everything more enjoyable for everyone!

I love sitting on my porch, listening to the high school marching band, hoodies and pumpkin pie, rain on an autumn day that mutes all the vibrant colors, choosing that perfect pumpkin and teaching my littles ones Halloween songs. And especially Halloween Candy!

I love the cooler weather and the changing of the leaves. The colors are magnificent! It’s a chance to pull out sweaters and blue jeans and get comfortable, or at least it used to be. I live in AZ now and sweaters aren’t really needed here and fall weather isn’t what it is in NY. I have my memories though!

I love fall for my annual trip to the pumpkin patch with my kindergarten students! They get so excited and there’s nothing better than a haystack slide, a corn maze and picking out the perfect pumpkin. I just had my first child in June, so I look forward to making this a tradition with her too. 🙂

The colors, cooler temperatures and candy corn!! My nana would take my brother and I to the candy counter at the mall and my brother would get gummy bears and I would get candy corn. I still love to candy corn when they bring it out in the Fall.

My forty minute commute to school magically transforms into driving through a mountainous, fall color explosion work of art! Windows down, cool, crisp air, sunshine setting the trees on fire! Who couldn’t have a great day with 26 first graders!?!?!

The cooler weather and going and picking out pumpkins from the pumpkin patch with the kids in my classroom. I’m also really excited because it will be my daughters first time to go do it herself now that she’s old enough.

My favorite thing about fall is the changing of the leaves. As a toddler teacher, I’m reminded that my little guys have only experiences this once or twice in their lives and it’s a good reminder to me to hold on to that sense of awe and wonder and just experience the world through their eyes.

Love seeing the leaves changing creating a beautiful masterpiece painted by Mother Nature! The crisp cool air, apple and pumpkin picking. Halloween and the excitement on the children’s faces collecting their trick or treats. The warm cozy sweaters along with the smell of wood burning in the fireplaces. Fall to me is the official beginning of the holidays! It’s my my favorite season of all!

The thing I love best about fall is all the activities! Everything from apple picking, pumpkin patches, leaf hunts, jumping in the leaf piles, having bonfires with s’mores, going camping, building scarecrows, going to haunted houses, trick-or-treating, and best of all, making all the fall foods!

When I leave work on a sunny day to go home, I see all the various colors in trees and the hillsides. But the best is the colors making it almost look like a fire: the sun makes the colors so vibrant at certain times of the day.

I LOVE everything about Fall! Watching the leaves change into such beautiful colors has to be my favorite! Going for a walk through our state park and taking it all in….the smell of leaves, the cooler temps, the colors. I feel it soothes my soul and brings me peace.
